Friday night fun>>or not?

its friday night. the day of great expectations...for the young and young at heart there would be high expectations to make tonigt a night filled with fun..

clubbing, movies, hangout with friends, dating and 'fun' are normally served in the menu. 

on fridays my manjam and pr traffic increases dramatically. the jingling sound alert of pr and 'bzzztt' from manjam plays a pleasant harmony throughout the day. at each sound, there is an excitement to check out who has been checking me out and see what plans can be made for the night...

truth be told....i am not much of a clubbing person...i find being in a crowded room with cigarette smoke with very few people that i know can be quite an uneasy feeling. i get a gut feeling that my every action is being closely monitored.... to be completely honest, arent the most of us the type that wait for the other person the make the first move on us?.....shyness, ego, fear of the other person not responding. low self esteem whatever the excuses might be..we tend to wait and procrastinate....and end up not approaching anyone at all.....or maybe its just me......even more so when i go to the clubs by myself..

hmm makes me wonder, if only there is an alternative to clubbing..

dont get me wrong, i like the idea where theres good music, dancing and men dressed up in the clothes...but darkness, extreme loudness, strangers>>not so much. its rather intimidating.

a decent lounge to sit, well lit (to see everything clearly), pleasant music... wouldnt that be a better combination. these lounges could be segregated according interests. say im a working professional or a fitness enthusiast or underwear collector (hehem!!!) or musician or athlete or anything else...these segregated lounges could provide a common interest. an excellent ice breaker for people to have something to talk about...or better an opportunity to explore new interests...

maybe its the age thing. at 27 i find myself more comfortable in manageable number of people. group of 10-15..wouldnt watching a movie with a nice drink at somebody's home be a nice thing to do? i mean not necessarily movie. gather a few bloggers and tingle their mind, im sure there will be plenty to talk about....or any activity for that matter. not only would people get to mingle, there are chances that we find really good friends..end of the day we are all trying to connect to one another arent we?

isnt one night stand also related to that? my take on one night stand would be someone who wants to connect without the emotional connection. just to have that momentary sense of belonging and attaching yourself to someone briefly. most people do it. its easy, its quick and without any baggage...does most people include me?? >>of course, who am i kidding here?

 so its friday night, a night of high expectations.
